FREIGHT RATE COMBINATION.
Being in Baltimore about two weeks
ago, was informed by person long con-
nected with the Baltimore and Ohio, and
g good observer, that he believed there
would be freight combination made with
the Baltimore and Ohio system westward
and eastward, and that Mr.. Garrett would
be an influence in selecting the new pres
ident for msgnate of the concern. In
Wall street they have rather bellttled
Ives and Stsyner, partly from reasons of
brokers' interests and partly from the i'm
possibility of conceding that young men
who have been at your side are capable
of amounting TO much st a distance. The
world is still too young to know that the
most dangerous man is he who has never
been suspected. The great men are, after
oil, the retail men who take the Wholesale
step after q while. When any one,
has mastered the a 3 ,of q
business until he seems to be
only an a B c man, look out for him in
the literature of the business, which is ali
made, after all, Of A B C's. Men, too.
who are not very scrupu!ous, apparently,
nor contiding, are the new deparfures of
the world. E
Here is Jay Gould, who is sait@{have
commenced with Q mouse trap, then
tanned leather and got into quarrel with
his partner, sitting up at the head of big
railroad folks. Hours and hours haveI
spent with some OF his old brokers, who
demonstrated to me that he never created
anything, but was always 8 destroyer.
Yet | notice that he mas the elevated rail-
roads, the Western Union telegraph and
more and more of Missouri Pacific sys-
TEN, and if these are destructive projects
my dictionary has got upside down.
Gould WAS simply judged by his small
transactions, when perhaps he was =
sTRAINING EVERY POINT tt
to get to place where he could take the
wholesale departure. The fact that the
Baltimore and Ohio Railroad has thrown
itself apparently into the northern So
ciety and ceased to be q southern road
shows that the great axis eff the country
is going q little further south all the
time, but it will never 60 any further
south than the northern conditions Of
society exist, such as obedience to law,
keeping your hand of another mans bust
ness and meeting obligations when they
are due. The state of Maryland has Kept
all its financial obligations ss well as any
of the northern states. During the war
this railroad was one of the
most powerful instrumentalities for
the Union, moving troops to and
fro, from west to east. II never made
money as ii did in that period, end it can
make money again when it gets a thor
ough northern awakening up and becomes
New York rather than Baltimore prop
erty.
AS the railroad science develops and
becomes more and more handled in the
Stock Exchange the opportunities Of
young men greatly increase. There wss
not enough 1eXibility about the old Bal
timore and Ohio Railroad under the one
mind management of John W. Garrett.
He sat, like the Sugar Loaf mountain, off
by himself, with no springs of water in
him. When New York WAS having g sort
Of base ball match in Wall street daily
the old gentleman in Baltimore was tell
ing one or two friends about the IN
equaled advantages Of that port. II he
had brought q little port out OF
his cellar and had sWeetened the
conversation his audience would have
been larger. His son has spent q good
deal of time il New York, and apprehends
that in q multitude of coulseI there is

shall come to New York. There, are in

THE LABOR TROUBLES
in the northern states are going to give
8 magnificent opportunity to a wholly
new race of skilled laborers and mechan-
les if they will start now and learn their
trades in the little towns and places which
ought to be the recruiting offices foTfths |
great cities. Every parent in the EgTf-
trade will do the best thing for him if he
starts at the present time. The LABOR sYs-
